Goldsmiths, a part of the University of London, is fighting climate change by taking beef off the menu. “[The university] will no longer serve beef burgers, beef burritos and the like on its campus,” reports CBS News. From the report: Goldsmiths will take beef products off the menu starting in September, it announced Monday. The effort is part of a mission to become carbon neutral by 2025. Removing beef products on campus isn’t the only action the university is taking. It also plans to install more solar panels, switch to a 100% clean energy supplier, plant more trees and make climate change education more accessible to students. Perhaps the biggest change the university is making aside from the elimination of beef is a fee of 10 pence (12 cents) on bottled water and single-use plastic cups. The goal is to “discourage use, with the proceeds directed into a green student initiative fund,” the college’s new warden, Professor Frances Corner, said.
